The Champions League final is eight days from Budapest. SeatPick's average secondary-market listing for Arsenal-PSG on Friday was about £11,000 — up roughly three hundred pounds from the Thursday print and against an Arsenal-section opening listing of £6,000. The top of the book sits north of £125,000. [1]

The paper's Thursday standard had the average at $10,738 on Day Nine and the UEFA Resale Portal open until five p.m. Friday May 29. Eight days in, the official-channel volume is still light against the secondary tape. UEFA's terms-and-conditions language — "resale of Tickets is permitted solely via the official 'Ticket Resale Platform'" — remains enforceable on paper. Whether UEFA cancels secondary-platform tickets at the turnstile on May 30 is the open question. [1]

Two structural facts make the week different from a normal touring-economics resale story. Arsenal's allocation sold out by Wednesday morning, and its own internal resale portal — face value, ten-percent buyer fee — closes Friday afternoon next week. The bottleneck is the seven-day window between the supporter resale closing and kickoff. Listings that cannot clear UEFA's verified mobile-ticket-delivery chain inside that window become risk. Listings on platforms that route by email transfer or paper print stay live and stay illegal, and the gap between the €70 face for Fans First and the £6,000 floor is the durable artifact the touring-economics thread has been counting since Coldplay first cleared the four-times-face threshold last spring.
